Banish Your Inner Critic – Stanford HCI Group 2020Denise Jacobs
During these unprecedented times, we are particularly susceptible to The Inner Critic, that voice of self-doubt that tells us that we aren't doing enough and that everyone is more successful and productive during the pandemic than we are. Fortunately, there are effective ways to manage the inner critic so that we can be better to ourselves and still show up powerfully.
In this session, Denise will share useful and effective tools to decrease the levels of anxiety. We'll also look at ways to tone down the tendency to compare ourselves with others (or to an unreachable "ideal"), ways to reframe language and transform self-talk to be more supportive, and tactics to overcome impostor syndrome, perfectionism, and unblock creativity.
Banish Your Inner Critic: Reduce Anxiety and Unblock Creativity - Emergent Le...Denise Jacobs
The Inner Critic is the main source of our biggest blocks to perform at our best. Fortunately, there are simple and effective ways to banish the inner critic in order to do our best work as contributors, collaborators, and leaders.
First, you’ll discover the three mental power tools that you already possess to stop the inner critic in its tracks. Then you’ll learn methods for dealing with the fear of being judged and criticized, how to transform highly critical self-talk into that of approval and encouragement, and ways to feel like your ideas are good enough and stop committing “ideacide.”

Lectures 15 and 16 - Escape into the Metaverse - 26 April 2022.pptxFahri Karakas
ART DESCRIPTION/SYNOPSIS: "THE BORING LECTURE"
“Curiosity and creativity are the new productivity.”
Despite the abundance of entertainment media at the touch of our fingertips, we easily feel bored these days and we desperately want to escape from our mundane lives. Boredom strikes us particularly hard when we feel trapped by endless tasks, responsibilities, habits, and routines in our lives. We want to escape and immerse ourselves in new worlds – perhaps worlds that are more colorful, exciting, rich, and novel. We seek adventures to save us from all the baggage, drudgery, stress, and anxiety that surrounds us.
‘The Boring Lecture’ invites you to new possibilities and exciting life strategies to escape from boredom. It takes a bit of imagination, courage, and experimentation to get out of boredom (the rut). We will try to escape monotony and mediocrity through embracing uncertainty, curiosity, and wonder.
Towards this goal, we take on a cross-disciplinary tour and explore geeks, mavericks, eccentric artists, weirdoes, crazy entrepreneurs, inventors, dreamers, mind-expanding authors, and insane filmmakers.
As we travel from the sublime to the ridiculous, we will expand our sense of what is possible. Asteroids, stars, black holes, computer games, books, movies, and of course, the Metaverse will accompany us on our wonderful journey.
We will travel through our body, our mind, our sleep, and our dreams. We will try to solve two dozens of mini-puzzles and we will experiment with a dozen of mini-learning adventures. We will explore future disruptive innovations and potential trillionaire sectors. We will learn about the new gold rush: The space economy.
Finally, we will fly through space and land on Mars. We will learn about the Mars Generation and imagine what daily life might look like at the red planet.
This will be a wild tour – far from boring - are you ready?
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. TRAPPED!
You are trapped in a room with two doors. One leads to certain
disaster and the other leads to freedom. You don't know which
is which. There are two robots guarding the doors. They will let
you choose one door, but upon doing so you must go through
it. You can, however, ask one robot one question. The problem
is that one robot always tells the truth, the other always
lies, and you don't know which is which. What is the question
you ask?
This is an example of a Lateral Thinking Puzzle—a way of
forcing you to think creatively.

Lateral thinking answers
About Karen and her books
4. WHAT IS CREATIVITY TO YOU?
• How do you define creativity?
• Do you want to be more creative?
• Do you think creativity can be taught?
5. CAN CREATIVITY BE TAUGHT?
We need our creative and critical thinking
skills to maximize opportunities and
solutions in life. But many people wonder, is
creativity really that important? Should you
bother teaching creativity? Can it even be
taught?
6. CREATIVITY IS A PROCESS
• To teach or learn creativity most effectively, one must
emphasize a process, not the “correctness” or
“incorrectness” of an end product.
• Creativity involves preparation and persistence.
• To teach or learn creativity most effectively, participants
need to feel free to express themselves as they desire.
• We need to find our way back to teaching and learning
about creative processes, tools, and skills as a way of
maximizing personal talent.
7. LATERAL THINKING
QUESTION 2
A woman has incontrovertible proof in court that her
husband was murdered by her sister. The judge
declares, "This is the strangest case I've ever seen.
Though it's a cut-and-dried case, this woman cannot
be punished.”
8. WHERE DID
YOUR CREATIVITY GO?
Use it, or lose it. Guess what, if you’ve gone a long time
without consciously using your creativity, it’s harder to tap
into. Look at your children – they are creative all the time.
So what happens to adults? Where does our creativity
go?
Creativity gets blocked by fear. Fear of being different, of
being laughed at, of standing out of “Standing for
Something.” (Seth Godin)
9. HOW IS YOUR PERSONAL
CREATIVITY LIMITED?
How do each of the following areas limit your creativity?
•Habits
•Rules
•Perceptions
•Emotions
•Culture
•Gender
10. HOW DO YOU BELIEVE SOCIETY
SQUASHES CREATIVITY
List the ways you can think of that society
squashes creativity, for example:
It’s
uncomfortable to be different
Fear of…

11. LATERAL THINKING QUESTION 3
There are six eggs in the basket. Six people each
take one egg. How can it be that one egg is left in the
basket?
12. CREATIVE LISTING
Creative listing is a fun and easy way to expand creativity. List:
things you can hear right now
things that crumble in your hands
things that reflect
things that sparkle under the evening sky
things that live in shadows
things that harmonize
things you wish had that are blue
morning things
nonsense things that rhyme with juice
things that are awesome about you
13. CRAYON ACTIVITY
Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box
of crayons in kindergarten. Being hit with the
creative bug is just a wee voice telling you, “I’d like
my crayons back please.”
from Ignore Everybody and 39 Other Keys to Creativity by Hugh MacLeod
We never know which crayon activity we’re going to
do, until we do it!
